Yuna Kim has a hidden boyfriend that no one knew about.

Recently, the Korean figure skater was photographed with her hockey player boyfriend, clearly on a date.

Yahoo News reports that Yuna Kim has been dating Korean hockey player Kim Won Joong for three years now.

The pair reportedly met while attending the same school, Korea University, and began their romantic relationship in 2012 when their paths crossed again at the Korea National Training Center.

Queen Yuna's boyfriend is 29 years old, 5 years older than the Sochi silver medalist and is currently affiliated with the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps.

While fans may be surprised that the Sochi figure skater has found love ever so secretly, Kim was open about her feelings towards the women's individual figure skating results.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the figure skater was the "model of professionalism" after Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova beat her to gold, still causing controversy nearly two weeks after the Sochi Olympics have ended.

During an interview with fans in Seoul, Yuna Kim spoke about the results saying, "It was absurd but I felt good that it's over."

The skater continued to stay positive. She stated, "Before the event, as I've always said I wasn't that desperate for the gold model. But at the same time I thought that since I am a human being, wouldn't I feel sorry if I don't get the gold model?"

She continued, "When I was finished, I could feel that I was not that desperate."

After the competition and the Sochi Olympics came to a close, the feeling of retirement hit the 24-year-old beauty.

She said, "I couldn't believe that this time of retirement had really come and I couldn't control my feelings."

We'll be looking out for what the Ice Queen has in store for her next.
